Cell Biology

Projects are available to study how the unlimited potential of primordial germ cells is governed at a molecular level during development in representative species such as amphibians and mice; within the cell important processes are governed by the structures and dynamics of numerous macromolecules; projects are offered to directly visualise macromolecular behaviour with a view to elucidating cellular function; these studies examine protein-protein, protein-membrane and receptor-mediated interactions within cells using modern imaging systems.
